‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 to Debut in February
Mike White’s “The White Lotus” will air its third season on HBO this February, Warner Bros. Discovery streaming chief JB Perrette confirmed on Tuesday.
The much-anticipated Season 3 of the mysterious and satirical travel anthology series jets off to Thailand this year, and after a few teases that it would be returning early in 2025, we now finally have a release date to mark on the calendar.

Perrette spoke at the Wells Fargo TMT Summit on Tuesday, December 3 and revealed the news, and he added that “Euphoria,” which is due to begin production in January, is not likely to return until 2026. What’s more, the HBO series adaptation of the “Harry Potter” books, which is currently looking for its young Harry, Ron, and Hermoine, might also not hit screens until 2027, Perrette said. In the conference, he added that the new “Game of Thrones” series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” would come in the summer, but it will actually come in the fourth quarter of 2025, IndieWire has learned.
“The White Lotus” joins other Q1 HBO scripted series including the medical drama “The Pitt,” the crime novel adaptation “C. B. Strike: The Ink Black Heart,” the fourth season of “The Righteous Gemstones,” the third season of the “Sex and the City” revival “And Just Like That…,” and Season 5 of the animated “Harley Quinn.”
Season 3 of “The White Lotus” stars Natasha Rothwell making her return to the show after starring in Season 1 as the masseuse Belinda, joining an otherwise entirely new cast that includes Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Nicholas Duvernay, Walton Goggins, Scott Glenn, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, and more.
The series is created, written, and directed by White, as well as executive produced by White, David Bernad, and Mark Kamine.
At a press event last month, HBO chief Casey Bloys teased the new season of the show with a trailer and several other series on the network’s shows on the 2025 slate. Bloys even said that White had pitched HBO on a potential Season 4 of the show, but no word if one will actually come to fruition.
Bloys at the event also dispelled a rumor that “Euphoria” would not be returning at all, assuring press that production on Season 3 is still moving forward as planned in January and that the season will be eight episodes long.
Some of the other scripted highlights to look out for on HBO in 2025 include the second season of “The Last of Us,” which will debut in Q2, the return of “The Rehearsal” with Nathan Fielder, a new show from “Mare of Easttown” creator Brad Ingelsby called “Task” that will arrive in Q3, “Peacemaker” Season 2 in Q3, and a Tim Robinson comedy series called “The Chair Company” also meant for Q3. The “Game of Thrones” series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is described as a smaller scale, more intimate story rather than a sweeping epic, and it follows a naive knight named Ser Duncan the Tall and his diminutive squire, Egg.
